For $349 how can you go wrong?
My Quincy or Cambell Hausfeld will not match those numbers.
5 HP, 3 Cylinder, 2-Stage, air compressor pump with 22 CFM Displacement, 16 CFM @ 175 PSI, and 18 CFM @ 100 PSI. This unit has an SCFM @ 175 of 16. This is usable air or “free air” at pressure – 175 PSI. This pump can go to 200 PSI

That looks like a pretty good deal.
Too bad you are not upstate NY, I have an extra 2 stage commercial pump that is currently tied to a 7.5 hp motor.
When it comes to compressors, a good pump makes all the difference. Plus they are so much quieter. I keep mine in my basement and have it piped outside

Rotary Screw.
Two stages are old, mang.
I just got a Quincy QGS-30 installed at the shop. It's the shiz. 95CFM at 100% duty cycle. Opened a 1/4 drain and it held 102# without a glitch. very quiet and vibration and maintenance free.

Installed the new pump mentioned above.
Had to cobble together a cooper line from pump to tank sine the configuration was different. Also had to install a smaller pully to get correct rpms on pump.
Much quieter than previous pump and works better.
Rotary screw would be nice but I am just an ameatur.
Flicked from my phone and onto IH8MUD like a booger from my finger

discharge line
I predict discharge tube failure.
Sweating copper is fine for hanging on the wall. As it rarely sees
high enough pressure/tempurature combination to reach failure.
If you have used Sched M it most likely isnt rated for that kind of pressure/temp
Schedual L is common. refrigeration guys have it. your local hose shop will have it.
The proper connections for that are Flare and Compression
Good luck

we never used anything but sched L copper
In the field I have seen peeps use 2 wire hydraulic hose
this ends of turning into goo from the heat and oil not a good choice.
I have seen 1 unit in my 10 year career that had a braided hose on it. But doubt it was teflon core as that isnt likely to withstand the heat at pressure.
my suggestion would be to install a 90deg elbow in the top of the tank. May require a check valve change.
and a 90 on the aftercooler of the compressor this will allow you to bend a U shaped tube.
If you install the 90s and measure the spread of the center of your holes. and the diameter of the tube you require, most hose shops can bend a tube for you.

Why? I think it would be better/safer to install it the first time.
